Pay discrepancies are sadly nothing new in the entertainment business, or anywhere really, but they rarely get this egregious.

Following allegations of Kevin Spacey's sexual misconduct, Ridley Scott decided to reshoot the entirety of Spacey's scenes in All the Money in the World, with Christopher Plummer as the replacement.

Scott proclaimed everyone did the 10-day reshoot "for nothing," but according to anonymous sources cited Tuesday in a USA Today report, that might not be the case.

Star Mark Wahlberg was reportedly paid a fee of $1.5 million for the reshoot, while lead Michelle Williams was paid a paltry $1,000 -- less than one percent of Wahlberg's fee.

The report states that Wahlberg's team negotiated a substantial fee for the reshoot, while Williams wasn't told about the deal. Both actors are represented by the William Morris Endeavor agency.

Those numbers are different than what's been quoted in the past.

In November, a source close to the production told the Washington Post that Williams was paid "hundreds of thousands of dollars or less," with Wahlberg getting at least $2 million.

Mashable contacted representatives for Williams and Wahlberg for comment, and will update the story if they respond.

News of the alleged disparity between Wahlberg and Williams did not go down well online.

The film's director Ridley Scott claimed to USA Today that none of the actors got paid for the reshoots, with Williams even giving up Thanksgiving with her family to reshoot the scenes.

Since its release two weeks ago, All The Money In The World has amassed $28.2 million worldwide at the box office.
